# Management agent deployment status and events {: #management-agent-deployment-status-and-events }

To monitor the status and health of management agent deployments, you can view the overall deployment status and specific deployment service health events.

## Deployment status {: #deployment-status }

When the management agent is performing an action on an external deployment that it is managing, a badge appears under the deployment name in the [deployment inventory](deploy-inventory), and on any tab within the deployment, to indicate the deployment status. The following four deployment status values are possible when an action is being taken on a deployment managed by the management agent:

|      Status    |     Badge     |
|----------------|---------------|
LAUNCHING       | ![](images/mgmt-agent-launch.png){: style="height:20px; width:auto"}
STOPPING        | ![](images/mgmt-agent-stop.png){: style="height:20px; width:auto"}
REPLACING MODEL | ![](images/mgmt-agent-replace.png){: style="height:20px; width:auto"}
ERRORED         | ![](images/mgmt-agent-error.png){: style="height:20px; width:auto"}

## Deployment events {: #deployment-events }

The management agent sends periodic updates about deployment health and status via the API. These are reported as MLOps events and are listed on the [Service Health](service-health) page.

DataRobot allows you to monitor and work with deployment events for external deployments once set up with the management agent. From one place, you can:

| Action | Example use case |
|--------|------------------|
Record and persist deployment-related events | Recording deployment actions, health changes, state changes, etc. |
View all related events | Auditing deployment events. |
Filter and search events | Viewing all model changes. |
Extract data | Reporting and offline storage. |
Receive notification of certain incidents | Receiving a Slack message for an outage. |
Enforce a retention policy | Ensuring that a log-retention policy is followed (90 days of retention guaranteed; older events may be purged). |

To view an overview of deployment events, select the deployment from the inventory and navigate to the [**Service Health**](service-health) tab. All events are recorded under the **Recent Management Agent Activity** section.

The most recent events are listed at the top of the list. Each event shows the time it occurred, a description, and an icon indicating its status:

| Icon | Description |
|------|-------------|
| ![](images/icon-green.png) Green / Passing   |  No action needed. |
| ![](images/icon-yellow.png) Yellow / At risk | Concerns found but no immediate action needed; continue monitoring. |
| ![](images/icon-red.png) Red / Failing | Immediate action needed. |
| ![](images/icon-gray.png) Gray / Unknown | Unknown |
| ![](images/icon-info.png) Informational | Details a deployment action (e.g., the deployment has launched). |

!!! note
    The management agent's most recently reported service health status is prioritized. For example, if data drift is green and passing on a deployment, but the management agent delivers an inferior status (red and failing), the list updates to reflect that condition.

Select an event row to view its details on the right-side panel.
